  • Transfers are made only to countries that provide an adequate level of data protection, or where appropriate contractual safeguards are in place;
  • All agents, partners, and affiliates involved in processing transferred data are bound by strict confidentiality obligations;
  • Data sharing agreements set out the permitted uses of personal information and prohibit unauthorised disclosure or further transfer.
